Summary

The performance of the heat exchange has been evaluated in two applications: as the evaporator in a compression heat pump and as the absorber in an absorption heat transformer. Film heat transfer coefficients based on the equivalent plain tube area, ranged from 200 W/m2.K, for gas-liquid contact, to 3800 W/m2.K, in the evaporation of a liquid stream.
